Q: My storage unit is raising my rent 100%. On the notice, they state the unit number, the size, and the new amount.
Don't they also have to state the current rate (before increase), and the amount of the increase, as well? (They first served the rent increase notice only providing a 19 day notice. We spoke about it, the manager finally agreed, and sent a new notice, with well over 30 days.)
Also, these are fairly new owners. I asked for a revised lease/contract, and was told that they do not have one on me, and if I want one, I have to go to the storage location to sign one.
Thank You!
A: Yes, 30 days advanced notice (or more) is required to raise the rent. The "missing" details you mention in regards to the rent increase notice are required in residential rentals but not in commercial and storage bin rentals.
